MapleStory Thunder Breaker aka Striker Skill Build Guide

MapleStory Thunder Breaker (GMS) aka Striker (MSEA) aka 메이플스토리 스트라이커 is one of Cygnus Knights Pirate to be the first to receive skills revamp from KMS (Korea MapleStory) with Level 120 cap removed. Strikers can now level up to Level 250 and able to utilize 4th Job Skills and Hyper Skills. They do not require any Mastery Book to unlock and most active skills can be chained/combo with another to execute them without any skill delay. MapleSEA received Knight of Cygnus Revamp on August 8th 2013 in version 1.32 patch. They get +6 AP every level, and +5 AP every level after 70.

Gain stance when performing combo skills. Monster are not able to knockback you while you are at it.

Cons

*Share your cons on this job!*

Skills can’t be use alone effectively. Requires chaining to make most out of it.

High MP Consumption on 2nd Job and above.

High HP Consumption due to low defense and risk being hit in close-combat.

Does not have decent Critical Rate compared to other classes.

Thunder Breaker Notes

Thunder Breaker aka Striker Chain Restrictions

All active attacking skills cannot chain to itself.

Lightning Assaulter can only be chained with Ascend.

Lightning Anchor cannot chain with Flash.

You may become a Thunder Breaker after completing the tutorial, accepting the job quest from Neinheart, and then talking with Hawkeye. Check the light bulb notifier for later job advancement quests: 2nd job at Lv.30, 3rd job at Lv.60, 4th job at Lv.100.

From Lv.140-200, you will occasionally unlock special Hyper Skills. These passive and active skills will make you even more powerful.
You must have a Knuckle equipped in order to use most of your skills.

Each Cygnus Knight character has its own Cash Shop inventory, not shared with other characters.

Thunder Breaker Tips

It’s best to stick with Rising Wave + Thunderous Dive during mobbing. The mobility, + the extra damage from static charge is more than enough.

Make use of Bolt Anchor’s wide hit range. It’s quite a large AoE, as big as BaM’s BKB. Use it to hit mobs that are one platform directly above you if you’re grinding at high level mobs.

Be wary of your defense. Ayumi said this before. Even though Carapace reduces damage taken, you can’t really take a lot of hits at high leveled mobs.

Flash (Active)
Charges into enemies to deal damage. Charges forward if there are no enemies. Can be linked with all skills excluding Thunder and self-skills.
Level 1: MP Cost: 16, Max Enemies Hit: 4 Damage: 254%, Number of Attacks: 1. Teleports the distance of 300 when there are no enemies in range.
Level 15: MP Cost: 9, Max Enemies Hit: 4 Damage: 310%, Number of Attacks: 1. Teleports the distance of 300 when there are no enemies in range.

Explanation:Flash will be Thunder Breaker primary training skill while Shark Jaw will be your bossing skill. Flash is very useful when monsters are located in multiple platform such as Mixed Golem area. However, it doesn’t deal much damage against monsters with high health especially mini-bosses such as Mushmom. Be careful not to max Shark Jaw as you will have insufficient SP to max all skills. If you spam Flash only, you will gain temporary invincibility (1-2 sec) where monster physical attack won’t hurt you! That is one way to save HP Potion during early leveling stage.

Explanation:Crashing Wave and Roundwave Kick will be Striker 2nd Job primary attacking skill. Using Crashing Wave alone has high attack delay. Therefore, use Crashing Wave (2nd Job Skill) + Flash (1st Job Skill) on flat platform. This is the best skill combination for wiping out all enemies quickly. You can combo Crashing Wave + Roundwave Kick to clear mobs on flat platform too. However, Roundwave Kick has high MP consumption and does not move you forward. It’s best to use Roundwave Kick in out-of-reach high areas where you want to hit enemies above you (jump and kick) OR use it against bosses OR attack enemies while maintaining your position.

Explanation:In 3rd job, it’s best to leave both Ascension (aka Rising Wave) and Thunder (aka Thunderous Dive) at 17, because in the off-chance you use the Leafre set, combat orders or the empress set, they’ll both be (almost) maxed. If you get one of them to 20, it’ll stay 20 while the other one doesn’t increase much.

Explanation:Early Static Charge enables you to deal extra damage at approximately 40% at max level of your original damage. It is similar to Shadow Partner from Night Lord (Thief 3rd Job Skill). Next, get Expert Knuckle Mastery to boost up your min-max damage with bonus weapon attack and also reduces the gap between these values so you will be able to inflict consistent damage to your enemies. Blitz IV improves your critical rate and critical damage while increasing the chance to gain a lightning buff that will be used for Annihilation and Advanced Whirlwind. Max Advanced Whirlwind as this will be used against mobs of enemies with tons of damage with the aid of lightning buff (more buff equals more whirlwind damage). Take note to also get Extreme Blitz (Hyper Skill) around Level 150 to allow your Striker to spam your maxed Advanced Whirlwind! Once you maxed all skills above, you will reach around Level 160 and this is where monsters are getting really tough. Nerve Stimulation helps minimize the risk of you being killed easily by increasing Max HP and Evasion Rate while reducing damage intake from enemies physical-magical attacks. Max the secondary attack skills (Bolt Anchor and Annihilation) followed by Cygnus Knights and lastly Speed Infusion.

Thunder Breaker 5th Job Skills

Thunder Breaker Skill Cores

Lightning Cascade | Lightning in Unity
Unites with Lightning and wipes out enemies. This skill Does not affect enemies in the Damage Reflection status.

Up to 4 Lightning bolts can be cast at the same time. If Lightning is cast, it is strong enough to attack at 360% damage 8 times. Lightning’s Cooldown: 3 sec. Cooldown: 120 sec
Level 25: Consumes 1000 MP to cast Lightning that attacks at 600% damage 6 times for 42 sec and transfer it to up to 5 enemies. Damage gradually decreases whenever it is transferred. Up to 4 Lightning bolts can be cast at the same time. If Lightning is cast, it is strong enough to attack at 600% damage 8 times. Lightning’s Cooldown: 3 sec. Cooldown: 108 sec

@Moaz
Ahh, I see. Hopefully that gets fixed along with DRPQ, but as of right now, the combo still doesn’t work.

MoazJanuary 2, 2017 at 3:59 AM

@Uri
As of right now, Flash is bugged, it cannot be chained into and will only finish a chain. You can macro the flash by itself to be faster(and a more reliable backstep/dash), but then it cannot start a chain.

yamatoDecember 29, 2016 at 3:27 AM

erm can i ask still gt ultimate aventurer???

UriDecember 26, 2016 at 11:08 AM

Hi Ayumi, this is a bit small, but I’d like to point out something that might be a mistake/wrong in your guide. At second job, the three skill combo of Flash, Crashing wave, Kick works, but has a lot of lag. I’d like to point out that Flash appears to have a bit of lag when chaining off of other abilities, and is only effective at the start of a chain or to re-position to start a new chain. Rather than Wave>Flash>Kick(Optional) for your three/two skill combo for training, the chain should be Flash>Wave>Kick, as Flash also allows you to re-position for the whole chain on maps with multiple platforms.

StrikerDecember 17, 2016 at 7:36 PM

Ayumi may I know which are the best link skills for striker (I am new btw).

StrikerDecember 17, 2016 at 7:35 PM

Ayumi may I know which are the best link skills for striker (I am new btw)

CursedDecember 1, 2016 at 3:38 AM

For the Thunder Breaker’s 1st job you will not be able to max everything except the Sharkjaw skill in MapleSEA u will not have enough Skill Points to be able to use for the buffing skill.

elululeiaNovember 30, 2016 at 11:00 PM

Are TBs worth playing on REBOOT?

AyumilovePost authorOctober 21, 2016 at 10:27 PM

@all: Added Thunder Breaker 5th Job Skill details.

StevenMcEvenOctober 21, 2016 at 6:02 PM

@Ayumilove: all good, as one of the few TBs out there I was curious as to why you thought gale was better. and if the video you linked is anything to go by, it is better if every line hits cap. Its just that its something that will probably apply to like three people in the world maximum

So just to sum up, the faster animation of gale compensates for:
the 7%x5 damage increase and 9%x5 defense ignore increase from gale’s damage bonus based on charges used up(if you use gale more than once then it uses your next amount of charges, 0 for the buff and so you get nothing)
the 110% difference in total damage(gale does 2340%, annihilate does 2450%)
the extra 20% boss and 20% ignore defense that annihilate gets from hypers
the 2 less lines capable of reaching damage cap (arc charger doubles the difference in lines)

it does seem entirely possible that gale is better at damage cap purely because of its speed, but I don’t think this’ll be the case for 99.98% of the people reading this guide and so there should be a distinction made between what’s good for bossing for a normal player and someone who strives to actually hit cap with TB

AyumilovePost authorOctober 20, 2016 at 9:09 AM

@StevenMcEven: I believe there are other aspects other than the Hyper Skills that adds damage such as less delay animation combined with the combo of (Gale + Thunderbolt) vs (Thunderbolt + Annihilation). There was a test video on that but I could not remember the video title of it on Youtube. When the damage cap is reached, the Gale + Thunderbolt deals more damage as a whole (damage lines per second vs damage hit per second). Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ41Onoje04

StevenMcEvenOctober 19, 2016 at 9:01 PM

@Ayumilove: can you go through the math on why you think gale and thunderbolt is better than annihilation and thunderbolt? The way I see it, annihilation is a 7 x 350% attack while gale is 5 x 390% attack, both can be combo’d with thunderbolt but gale also resets your ignore defense buff% based on your charges upon usage, unlike if you use it once and then use the annihilation and thunderbolt combo

annihilation also has more hyper skills that increase its damage, with 20% damage, 20% boss damage, and 20% PDR ignore, while gale only has 20% damage and 1 extra hit

AyumilovePost authorOctober 5, 2016 at 8:36 AM

@FanboyBreaker: Gale and Thunderbolt is much better for bossing compared to Annihilation and Thunderbolt combo skills.

AyumilovePost authorOctober 5, 2016 at 8:35 AM

@BlueXeno: The Hyper Skill icons for Thunder Breaker has been updated!

AyumilovePost authorOctober 4, 2016 at 11:01 PM

@V3Vincent: Sorry for the late reply. I have updated Thunder Break 4th job skills.

AyumilovePost authorOctober 4, 2016 at 11:00 PM

@Chumpstick: Thanks for your feedback! I have updated Thunder Breaker job skills with the data from GMS v.174!

ChumpstickOctober 4, 2016 at 6:19 PM

This guide is outdated, Annihilate now does 350% instead of 250%, making it superior to typhoon for bossing, especially with all its hyper skills that increase damage further

The third job skill Link Mastery missing is a bug that nexon is looking into. No estimate on when the fix will be but hopefully soon.

MoazJuly 4, 2016 at 8:32 AM

@Whut
My Thunder Breaker also has 17 extra SP in 3rd job, I think Link Mastery is now a passive. Which is weird because Seawall and Ironclad is now a passive, too.

WhutJuly 3, 2016 at 11:25 PM

I’m at the third job advancement and I appear to be missing Link Mastery. Is this skill unlocked or is something wrong?

PandiJuly 3, 2016 at 8:38 PM

Did they remove Link Mastery(GMS) from 3rd job, because I dont have it in my skills? Or am I missing a quest?

jwoo2000March 27, 2016 at 9:25 PM

What would the combo for bossing be in 3rd job? Would Shark sweep and Ascension be ok?

KidChildSonDecember 12, 2015 at 12:44 PM

Hi, I have a question…

Does Typhoon still consume lightning buffs during the Primal Bolt buff??

Thanks!!!

nzqNovember 9, 2015 at 11:27 PM

Hey,the conclusion for third job skill build has a little mistake if i havent seen it wrongly(the msea one),it says that everything max except thunderous dive but it missed rising wave……

GYSOctober 29, 2015 at 7:26 AM

@Kaiv I think you are not the only one who still uses striker… but the only one who still playing in Delphinus.

AcesOctober 20, 2015 at 10:58 PM

#3 striker ems here! best job ever c: demn sharks everywhere xD

KaivAugust 16, 2015 at 7:55 PM

Wah. I’m currently playing in Delphinus and i felt like i was the only one who still uses striker. nice meeting you guys.! :D

BergAugust 14, 2015 at 12:57 PM

@Gabrielle
I realised that as well. I hope it is just a bug.

GabrielleAugust 5, 2015 at 7:03 PM

Hi Ayumi,
I’ve been playing Striker for a really long time in MapleSEA. Ever since Black Heaven, our stance got removed, so we no longer have stance while chaining our skills. Do you know if this only applies to Strikers in MapleSEA, or are other servers affected too? I spoke with a GM and he said it was a skill change. Kinda disappointed with it.

AyumilovePost authorJune 2, 2015 at 11:08 PM

@Great Gamer: All Cygnus Knight jobs which includes Thunder Breaker does not require any Mastery Books to unlock its 4th job skills.

Great GamerJune 2, 2015 at 1:55 PM

Does Thunder Breaker need any Mastery book?

MaxMarch 18, 2015 at 6:30 AM

Use 3rd job skill gale, has a cooldown until you get the lvl 150 hyper Primal Bolt which lets u spam gale

bobMarch 9, 2015 at 6:48 AM

How do i use gale??? its not working. Can you give me the buffs i can use to make it work

randommaplerDecember 15, 2014 at 6:56 AM

I was wondering what class I should make , Thunder Breaker or Dawn Warrior?

mathguyJuly 18, 2014 at 7:57 AM

@aran888888

Sorry I accidentally messed up some of the math, it would actually be around 97%, 81% would be on a 90% defense ignore boss, not a 10% defense ignore normal monster.

mathguyJuly 18, 2014 at 7:53 AM

@aran888888

defense ignore doesn’t work that way, it’s not additive. Also, the wording on that hyper skill’s active is a little tricky. It doesn’t change the % Defense ignore of the original buff, that remains at 10% per stack, it changes advanced whirlwind/typhoon’s buff to 9% per stack and puts a flat 25% damage increase where there used to be 7% per stack.

So on thunderbreaker with the buffs you are talking about it would be (for a normal monster)

1 – .9 * .5 * .55 * .85 * .9

which comes out to 81%. If you simply added the values, it would be 120% defense ignore. (50 + 45 + 15 + 10)

aran888888July 5, 2014 at 2:36 AM

Considering Primal Bolt gives you 45% defense ignore if you have 5 lightning buffs, as well as it has no cooldown.. Plus if you had, say, a level two Luminous link skill, as well as Zero’s link skill.. Could you have 70% defense ignore permanently? Sounds a little strong to me.

BassRiderJune 22, 2014 at 7:28 PM

@Rashid Wouldn’t overall be better to put 18 Ascension and 16 on thunder, because it does one more hit.

StormJune 10, 2014 at 6:29 PM

Hmm Ayumi, so there’s no status effect removal like Hero’s Will?

RashidApril 7, 2014 at 10:54 AM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu-ZAExTbs0 I’d recommend adding this to the video list, since 1) It’s currently one of the hardest bosses (to my knowledge), 2) displays how TBs can use their skill arsenal when bossing (because lots of people think they can’t, for some reason).

AyumilovePost authorApril 6, 2014 at 10:31 PM

@Rashid: Thanks for the feedback on Ascension and Thunder at 17. I have amended the skill build guide.

Also, one thing that’s VERY important to mention: In 3rd job, it’s best to leave both Ascension and Thunder at 17, because in the off-chance you use the Leafre set, combat orders or the empress set, they’ll both be (almost) maxed. If you get one of them to 20, it’ll stay 20 while the other one doesn’t increase much.

RashidMarch 18, 2014 at 4:27 AM

I agree. For example, they can combo through stuns (as long as you don’t stop), you can interrupt your abilities to attack AND move if needed (e.g. Ascension + Thunder vs. Von Bon), and with the very high rate of attack, you don’t have to worry about the damage cap. Plus you get stance when comboing. But ye, the most important pro is: SHARKS. OF LIGHTNING.

AnonymousMarch 16, 2014 at 10:49 PM

I think there is more pros than one for Thunder Breaker. For example, combo shouldn’t be a con, it can be a pro. And maybe another pro is shark attack.

RashidMarch 8, 2014 at 5:21 PM

Ayumi, I noticed TBs don’t have a decent critical rate like other classes. Any recommendations? I only have a BT skill link to help. Event items aside, any other suggestions?

RashidMarch 5, 2014 at 2:08 AM

Joshy, UAs were removed a long time ago. <_<

JoshyFebruary 28, 2014 at 10:26 PM

Am i still able to make a UA @ Lv 120 During this V2 ? Currently am a lv 105 Striker hoping i could make a UA Spearman :DDD Please reply me ASAP

josephJanuary 11, 2014 at 6:02 PM

thanks for your website, i probably would have wasted money on sp reset scrolls without your guide!

shadowisawesomeDecember 11, 2013 at 11:00 AM

hi ayumi, im trying to do the mount quest but dont know where to get 10,000,000 mesos. ive heard of marketting but i dont wanna do that. hav any ideas?

Hi dannycmc, you do not need scroll HP on equipment. To improve your maxHP significantly, create a set of deck cards with good combination. See http://ayumilove.net/maplestory-character-card-system-guide/ for more information. Next, get all the link skills especially Kaiser and Cannoneer. They improve your HP alot. Then equip yourself a set of gears such as Empress Set. This will easily rack up 2000-5000 HP for regular jobs.

dannycmcNovember 23, 2013 at 11:08 PM

Needed scroll Hp on equipment ? Since look like in low hp for bosses ><

@jtb: as of tempest, all jobs go pure except xenon which has a slightly different AP distribution.
Juz Auto-Assign, it will worked out just fine

jtbOctober 31, 2013 at 9:19 PM

so if i make a striker ap should be all on str. ? how much dex should i have i heard dex equal lvl. should i cap it? i havnt play in years and just now interested in checking ms again :D and with these revamping thunderbreak im confused

AyumilovePost authorOctober 12, 2013 at 10:10 AM

Thanks Snap for the feedback! I’ll update the description so it will be clear for everyone :D

snapOctober 11, 2013 at 12:50 PM

Ayumi, doesn’t annihilate only hit 7 times at max stacks and 2 times without stacks? If so you gotta edit that part. :| it says “hits 1 enemy 7 times and receives additional hits per lightning stack.

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 25, 2013 at 11:40 PM

Hi arcnova, Primal Bolt removes the lightning buffs that you have stacked. You can use Gale with or without lightning buffs when Primal Bolt buff is still active. If you have stacked (5) lightning buffs, you will gain the maximum damage buff Gale offers. If you cast Primal Bolt again with no buffs, it will reset Gale and you will have lost the damage buff you previously used with the stacked lightning buffs you had. There are times when comboing Gale + Bolt Anchor is ideal for mobbing (assuming you have reached level 150 for the no cooldown hyper)

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 25, 2013 at 11:32 PM

Hi RealLifeDeal, thanks for the correction on the 3rd job Shadow Partner :)

RealLifeDealSeptember 25, 2013 at 7:11 PM

hey Ayumilove, isn’t shadow partner a 3rd job skill for night lord/shadower? It was mentioned in the description of static charge.

arcnovaSeptember 24, 2013 at 10:11 AM

i thought primal bolt was supposed to remove gales lightning buff requirement, but everytime i use gale my lightning buffs disappear, whats the point of having 9% def ignore for each lightning buff and no gale cooldown if gale STILL removes the lightning buffs after every use

AyumilovefanSeptember 18, 2013 at 7:45 AM

Thanks Ayumilove i just started my Striker and i am having a blast

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 18, 2013 at 7:23 AM

hI Ayumilovefan, Striker is the best for mobbing. Soul Master is kinda overall-ish (it mobs lesser than Striker but packs a punch).

AyumilovefanSeptember 18, 2013 at 5:46 AM

What is the best Cygnus knight for mobbing?

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 17, 2013 at 6:44 AM

Hi Nutz, both are good in their own ways. For me, Strikers are godlike for bossing with their Typhoon + Annihilate. On the other hand, Soul Master has more *variety* in their attacking skills with Soluna’s Harmony.

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 17, 2013 at 6:43 AM

Hi arcnova, its kinda smooth as Annihilate + Shark Sweep.

arcnovaSeptember 15, 2013 at 3:48 PM

how fluid is the
tyhpoon + annhilation combo?

this is of course after using primal bolt to remove the cool down from typhoon

NutzSeptember 15, 2013 at 2:53 PM

Heyyyy~ currently i got a old soul master parking there and also have a 15x striker im not sure which one is better Striker or Soul master better??

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 15, 2013 at 8:00 AM

Hi MSEAPlayer, it is replace with 45% defense instead of 35% damage buff. Getting both is simply overpowered (OP) :D

Hmm ayumi, I can’t help but notice your striker AyumiStrikes has a SG flag balloon. I didn’t knew you play MSea, I thought you were from GMS all along o.O

SwiftSeptember 4, 2013 at 9:48 AM

Wow someone be stealing my name -.-

WildHeartlessSeptember 3, 2013 at 11:04 AM

omg so cannot wait for this class to be released… just a few more days. this is the only new CK that really catches my eye… wind archer looks great in terms of damage, i like how 3rd job skills will still be used fourth job on for this class… hate classes that just replace every job… have you played this class extensively as well as the other CK? which did you enjoy most???

Hey Ayumilove, for advanced whirlwind, is it active or passive skill? Because I try to drag on that skill icon but nothing happens. If its passive means that the advanced whirlwind is connected to normal whirlwind? In other words, I have to activate using normal whirlwind only?

SoR0XaSAugust 26, 2013 at 6:46 AM

You can’t macro it. Not sure in KMS, but in MSEA, chaining with a macro is a no-go. Like for example when you chain Annhil + Anchor on a macro, only annhil will be used.

ShootingStarBlitzAugust 26, 2013 at 3:04 AM

Can you macro your attack skills to make it easier to combo, or do you have to enter each command separately?

A tip on TB.
1. TB’s skillchain can basically bypass stuns, as long as you keep spamming the combo.
2. It’s best to stick with Rising Wave + Thunderous Dive during mobbing. The mobility, + the extra damage from static charge is more than enough.
3. Make use of Bolt Anchor’s wide hit range. It’s quite a large AoE, as big as BaM’s BKB. Use it to hit mobs that are one platform directly above you if you’re grinding at high level mobs.
4. Be wary of your defense. Ayumi said this before. Even though Carapace reduces damage taken, you can’t really take a lot of hits at high levelled mobs.
Hope this helps ^^

John BakerAugust 20, 2013 at 5:14 PM

Guys, if you have mana issues, i strongly recomment an Evan Character Card. It is really good for mana, you barely have to consume mana potions during training.

ExXenonZenonAugust 20, 2013 at 5:01 PM

Hi y is MSEA’s Cygnus Knight dun have ‘Cygnus Knight’ < Buff

TsurugiAugust 16, 2013 at 2:16 PM

Ahhh, if only TB/Striker had the regen of Viper/Bucc or Jett/Zen, we wouldn’t be spamming potions too much.

AyumilovePost authorAugust 16, 2013 at 7:01 AM

Hi It’s Me, Thunder Breaker (TB) is better since you can alternate skills. Wind Breaker (WB) for strong solo boss and Soul Master (SM) pretty much a balance high-armored guy which does not receive much damage compared to WB and TB. I played TB and SM , TB really eats up lots of MP and HP (if bump into monster alot)

Its MeAugust 15, 2013 at 10:30 AM

LOL ok….but my ‘everything’ stuff is in that server =( Since its like that, Imma just leave it :| Thx!! :)
WB, TB or SM? (funnest job) :-O <3

AyumilovePost authorAugust 15, 2013 at 6:49 AM

Hi Its Me, you could create a new character in a different server without having to delete your hardwork trained Mihile :) Or purchase some NX Cash or do Nexon Advertisement to earn NX Cash to purchase extra character slot. I really like Mihile since it has the awesome Dragon-ball Kamehameha (Ima Shooting My Lazer)

Its MeAugust 14, 2013 at 2:09 PM

Hey ayumilove, itsme. Erm, sorry for asking this question here due to I can’t write any comments in the SoulMaster’s guide webpage. So here it is, isit worth to delete my lvl 94 mihile that has been a long time since I used it to create a SoulMaster char?? Thx for replying ^^ have a nice day!

TsurugiAugust 13, 2013 at 12:17 PM

In my experience, 4th job combos starting with Bolt Anchor are more feasible, as it initially casts slowly, for starters. Thunderous Dive would be an ideal follow-up after that, and any other chain next.

Sugar MinAugust 12, 2013 at 11:18 PM

Ayumi.. May i know either Hero Will / Awakening SKill Available for KOc Class?

Striker powerAugust 12, 2013 at 10:40 PM

Which is the strongest? Wind breaker, soul master or striker?

JaberwockyAugust 12, 2013 at 9:32 PM

Hi!I was wondering why I don’t the Cygnus Knights skill that add 15% to all stat when the skill is at level 30 at the 4th job skill tab,since you ignored Demisahz’s question so I’m asking here again…Sorry…

AyumilovePost authorAugust 12, 2013 at 8:35 PM

Hi SoR0XaS, I was kinda busy during the afternoon, will check out during the night :)

SoR0XaSAugust 12, 2013 at 5:00 PM

I sent you a message in your FB page. Check it please.

SoR0XaSAugust 12, 2013 at 8:39 AM

Go ahead if you want, but I prefer if you recorded the skills at night, GMT +8. Is there any way for me to contact you?

AyumilovePost authorAugust 12, 2013 at 8:05 AM

Hi Tsurugi, I agree with the MP Drain. Experience it with the Roundwave Kick or the primary attacking skill. Yeah, they are really fast with their combo!

AyumilovePost authorAugust 12, 2013 at 8:04 AM

Hi SoR0Xas, its been awhile not seeing you on your LokiDAvenger :D Later could I record your Striker? Which 4th Job Combo Skills have you tested out? You can use Roundwave Kick + Annihilation or Annihilation + Bolt Anchor or Bolt Anchor + Advanced Whirlwind (reach Level 150 to gain Extreme Blitz to remove Advanced Whirlwind Cooldown). You can also chain perform a long chain : Rising Wave + Thunderous Dive + Crashing Wave + Bolt Anchor?

SoR0XaSAugust 12, 2013 at 12:08 AM

@ayumi: I think you misunderstood my question. I was asking about combos that are viable in 4th job.
@Tsurugi : we have the sports event on the 18th anyway. New content usually have a 2 week gap as per S2.

DemisahzAugust 10, 2013 at 2:40 PM

why went i advance to 4th job there is no cygnus knights skill? is there a bug? i’m from msea

AceAugust 10, 2013 at 11:43 AM

Ayumi did all cygnus knight no need any Skill Book at 4th job?

@SoR0XaS: that’s sad… Even though the latest patch already contains the Root Abyss map and stuff (as per checking of the .wz file – w/c I recommend nobody will do) it’ll be another wait.

@All: Beware, Striker combos drain MP really quick — faster than most mage classes we know, if not THE fastest MP-draining class in the game (in my experience). Especially in 3rd Job when we gain Chain Attack, watch that MP meter! But heck, they got the fastest combos (Merc and DB come second) in game!

Hi SoR0XaS, you can chain the Crashing Wave with Roundwave Kick at 2nd Job. You must tap the skill pretty fast. Once you see the first skill animation out, quickly tap the 2nd combo skill quickly. This method applies for Mercedes, Aran and Dual Blade skills.

Hi MSEAPlayer, not all HyperSkills can be max as you will be given limited Hyper Skill Points. You can’t use the 4th Job Skill Points into Hyper Skills.

Tsurugi, a friend of mine has confirmed the date of RA content to be released in september.

StrikerAugust 7, 2013 at 11:00 AM

Ayumi, give me some ign name for my striker.

AyumilovePost authorAugust 7, 2013 at 6:12 AM

Hi Tsurugi, we both share the same interest :D I’ll be updating Revamp KOC once I have more information on it :)

TsurugiAugust 6, 2013 at 9:58 PM

Hi Ayumi,

MSEA will be having Cygnus Returns (with all 3 revamped KoCs) as well as Root Abyss by August 7, 2013 (GMT+8). Bookmarking this guide by the way, since the only revamped KoC that interests me is the Striker.

LeonAugust 5, 2013 at 11:16 AM

Im struggling for choosing dawn warrior or striker as a main , which one do you think better?

PolarAugust 4, 2013 at 1:01 PM

Striker have a secondary weapon?

ChakaneAugust 1, 2013 at 8:48 PM

Hey Ayumi. I was creating my thunder breaker and noticed it is a requirement to obtain 20 base dex to acquire 1st job thunder breaker. Does the revamped thunder breaker require a 20 base dex as well? I really want to level one now, but I would not be able to deal with the base 20 dex as it will decrease my attack range. :/

thenooseJuly 30, 2013 at 9:00 PM

will the secondary weapon that the revamped striker be the same as the previous old ones(KOC all usable secondary weapon) ?

SoR0XaSJuly 30, 2013 at 6:27 PM

Ayumi, is it true that all the skills except for lightning assaulter can be chained together?

PunnyTechZJuly 30, 2013 at 8:03 AM

hey, ayumi. when will the max lv250 for adventurers be out for maplesea? :D

bladecoolJuly 20, 2013 at 4:04 PM

which version do you think is the 2nd to get cygnus returns?

AyumilovePost authorJuly 17, 2013 at 7:19 AM

Hi dalzayong, I’m not sure when they will reach to MapleSEA as they releases their patches in unpredictable manner compared to GMS. For GMS, I would say, within 3-8 months after the previous patch.

dalzayongJuly 16, 2013 at 7:14 PM

when is this coming out on MSEA?

DylanJune 7, 2013 at 4:19 AM

Who should I make thunder breaker for the striker when they are revamped or buccaneer?

Jerr.May 21, 2013 at 3:08 PM

What is the skill use at 1.06 min in the 2nd last video?

Sugar MinMay 10, 2013 at 2:23 PM

Hii Ayumi.. Is It Nothing Change For Viper? =/

RandyApril 10, 2013 at 2:49 PM

Ayumi, will we get to keep our shinjou mounts?

AyumilovePost authorApril 5, 2013 at 6:26 AM

Hi Andrew, I have not keep track on MapleSEA since their progress on putting up new content (aka patch updates) is utterly slower than GMS. You could say 3-8 months after GMS implement something the new content.

Hi Dill, there are no news on this yet for GMS. They might bundle it with another patch or in a separate patch depending on how fast they wish to reveal new content to attract players back to their server :)

Hey Ayumilove, this question has been bothering me for a while:
What will happen to the UA skills that UAs receive? Since Shark Wave doesn’t exist anymore (after the update) will UAs keep it, or get a different move?

AyumilovePost authorMarch 13, 2013 at 7:42 AM

Hi Trifly, I do not know since I don’t possess an Ultimate Adventurer :(

TrilfyMarch 12, 2013 at 9:25 AM

um what would happen to my Ultimate adventurer when striker comes out?

AyumilovePost authorMarch 5, 2013 at 9:06 PM

Hi moonrobin, I predict it would be next year since GMS will need to implement other jobs such as Xenon (around October 2013) before releasing the Cygnus Knights revamps (Striker and Wind Archer).

moonrobinMarch 5, 2013 at 3:22 PM

By your predictions, when do you think this will be implemented into GMS?

AyumilovePost authorFebruary 17, 2013 at 8:48 AM

Hi Cake, Strikers can now level up as high as the remaining class. This means, if an adventurer can level up to Level 250. Then the revamp Cygnus Knights can level up as high up to Level 250. The level cap update was release after Striker is released.

CakeFebruary 16, 2013 at 11:39 AM

You say that it’s max of Lv. 250 (Strikers can now level up to Level 250 and able to utilize 4th Job Skills and Hyper Skills.). But then later say that it’s a max of 200 (1. Maximum level of Striker is now 200 and job advancements are as follows:). Which is it? 250, or 200? And I’ve been told that max level will become 250 in the future, is this true?

raymondJanuary 29, 2013 at 9:29 AM

do you need mastery books for its skills?

raymondJanuary 29, 2013 at 9:27 AM

look at the damage on the first job video

AyumilovePost authorJanuary 25, 2013 at 9:48 AM

Hi Rick, for accounts that already has Thunder Breaker character created, they will be automatically changed to Striker, all of the SP will be reset, some related Cygnus Quest will no longer be accessible and the Level 120 cap is remove, plus Striker 4th Job Skills does not require any Mastery Books because Nexon decided it will be too much work to create Mastery Books for the other 4 more Cygnus Classes (Dawn Warrior / Wind Archer / Night Walker / Blaze Wizard) if they were to implement this revamp in the future. In short, you do not need to be Level 120 Thunder Breaker to become a Striker. The transition from Thunder Breaker to a Striker is done behind the scene. The moment you login and play, you will see different skills in your skill window.

RickJanuary 25, 2013 at 12:15 AM

Will we have to have a level 120 Thunder Breaker to make a Striker, and if we already have a level 120 Thunder Breaker, will it be revamped and able to continue to 200?
